UGLINESS.

While all the exchanges have had kind
word for the Editor of THE REVIEW having
been struck by lightning, or a civic piece Of
honor having beenconferred, the person struck
takes this method and opportunity 10 say TO
all his friends, and the contemporaries of The
REVIEW, many thanks. Now it comes to
pass, that the Plaindealer, whose editor is the
vice President Of the Utah and Pacific Coast
railroad, has make the only ugly reference to
our appointment in the whole list. TIE RE-
VIEW said this cfhis appointment last August.
Hon. D. S. K. Buick, our worthy co-tem-
porary, has been appointed by the Governor
| also commissioner to the Agricultural Con
Der. This is distinguished honor conferred
upon Mr.. Buick, and we believe that he will
give no occasion for regret"
The Plaindealer says this of us this April.
sWe are pleased to learn that J. r. n .
Bell, has been appointed clerk TO the railroad
commissioners We should think this rather
a difficult office for preacher to fill. The
main thing will be TO draw the salary and
our CO. ten, can do that as gracefully as any
body"
Why mans calling should be slurred IL
such prescriptive spirit is more than we car
comprehend, but THE REVIEW might possibl,
make good guess. So we will get no ''com
plimentary' over this U. i P. c. road. W,
will try the virtue of riding the breakbeam.

DISPATCHES.
Kansas Prairie Fires.

ATcHIsoN, KAs., Apnl IL "A special t 0
the Champion says: stReports concerning
destruction of life and property, caused by
the great prairie fire that swept over the
eastern portion of Norton and Graham coun.
ties Saturday last, are yet meagre and unsat-
isfactory, but enough is known TO appall the
stoutest hearts. II started in Graham county,
and the wind carried the flames over and
though the dry grass at a frightful speed.
General destruction continued to near Roscoe,
lngraham county, and here the fire spread
oyer the county for fully two and half
miles in width, and as the wind carried it
north was constantly spreading until it was
seven miles wide, where it crossed the north
fork OF Solomon river, three miles east Of
Dinsmere. A few houses were burned and
every stable with stacks OF hay and cribs OF
grain was burned, leaving hundreds of farmers
almost destitute. 1t is pitifuI to pass over
the burned district and see thousands OF burned
chickens and turkeys and hundreds Of hogs,
with occasional horses and numerous cattle
Almost every farmer lost from 50 to 500 bu.
OF corn besides small grain. 1t is definitely
known that from thirteen to sixteen lives
were lost in two counties, but the names
have not been learned. -Four children are
known to have perished in one family. How
far the fire extended north from Solomon is
not known, but it must have travelled a long
distance AT the same time another fire
swept down south of Fort Solomon, sweep
ing everything in its path and burning six
persons to death, father, mother, and four
children, and a large number of cattle, horses
hogs andpoultry. In one instance woman
prematurely gave birth 10 child. When the
FIRE was discovered approaching, her husband
took her in his arms and started for pIowed
ground, but before he reached il the woman's
clothing was on fire. He succeeded in put
ting it out and saving her life. The babe,
less than an hour old, was with other men,
bers OF the family saved, but the house and
other property on the farm was destroyed.
Hundreds Of narrow escapes could be related
Saturday was frightful day, one long TO be
remembered in Graham county. General
rains have fallen to-day IN Western Kansas,
and hopes are entertained that they will ad-
vance eastward.

Communication from Fossil.

Ed. REVIEW: Thinking perhaps a world
from Fossil would be interesting to you and
your many readers, hereby take time by the
forelock by sending you line or two. have
been resident Of this burg but short time,
for it has been but short time since was
within and without and upon the walls OF the
state penitentiary- an inmate exactly for |
was 'heele,!" with Winchester rifle most Of
the time. Suffice it to say this Is more
agreeable location than the state penitentiary
for here there is not that lurking feeling
haunting man that he might be called upon
to kill somebody, not altogether pleasant
feeling to one who is not ''thirsty for blood.
Well, Fossil is sixty miles due south Of Ar
lington (alias Alkali.) This is evidently the
best portion of Gillian Co., not because | am
here but because the natural resources, such
as bunch grass, sage brush and coyotes, etc.
are more available here than at other places.
This is "a comparatively new country and many
new towns are springing up along the line on
the base Of the Blue mountains. Fossil is in
its mushroom growth orinfancy ard still wear
ing its swadling clothes, being but four OF five
years old. The general outlook for this place
however is good. With the advent OF a few
years this country will be checkered with rail-
roads, dotted over with school houses ard
churches, bowling wilderness converted into
a prosperous and thriving country. Where
we now see ranches with their thousands of
sheep, coyotes and jack rabbits and plains of
sage brush, wewill see happy homes, towns
and cities with thousands of prosperous people.
A few object lessons TO the observer would
teach hiri that my minds eye is not drawing
tedious tale Of learning DER, but will, in
the course Of human events be stearn realities
not drawn altogether from imaginations. To
my friends in Douglas who have been en-
quring OF me about this country / would say
in conclusion that there are thousands Of acres
OF vacant land in Western Oregon yet that
will make good homes for the homeless, but
the good land is being taken and will not al
ways lie vacant. ii. B. HENDRICKS
